I've never made good chili before today... I've only made "ok" or "hmm" chili. But TODAY, I impressed my husband! I followed the recipe with only one change: canned diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Worked great. Seasonings perfect for our family with two younger children -recipe can be tweaked if you like it hotter.

I used this recipe with one major tweak--I left out the simple syrup entirely. I don't care for overly-sweet punch. The lemon-lime soda and the white grape juice add all the sweetness it needs. This recipe, minus the syrup, fit the bill perfectly for a wedding reception I was catering. Guests were surprised that there was no alcohol in the punch- maybe a little disappointed, too! (lol) Since that wedding reception in Aug 2006, I have made this punch 3 or 4 other times, to great acclaim. A classy alternative to that yucky red punch we see far too often.

A nice, all-purpose bun recipe. Be aware, these rolls rise straight up to heaven while baking, even though I flattened them out in hamburger bun shape first! They ended up looking like dinner rolls, but they still held up well with burgers. Family thought they were marvelous. Next time I will put on some sesame seeds, or put some minced onion in the dough for more flavor.
